The choice of bodies offered included a four-door sedan, two-door, four-seat convertible, six-seat landaulet by Tatra and more luxurious versions with bodies by a choice of coachbuilders: Bohemia in Česká Lípa and Sodomka in Vysoké Mýto.[4] By 1934 the bonnet had been restyled, with Tatra's traditional enclosed front replaced with a conventional grille.[5]
For 1935 Tatra revised the Type 52 body again to be the same style as the 1,688 cc Tatra 75. Tatra increased the Type 52's power output to 32 hp (24 kW).[6] Bodies offered included a six-seat limousine, six-seat convertible and also an ambulance.[7]
Tatra also used the engine of the Type 52 in other vehicles, including trucks and the Tatra 72 three-axle off-road vehicle.[1]
Type 52 production ceased in 1939, by which time about 1,700 cars had been built.[8] 1,157 of these were four-door limousines.[1]
